We are delighted to announce the new CSFI report on the future for investment research will be published on Monday 23 October. Euro IRP has commissioned this independent report – the third report on the research market we have asked CSFI to undertake – to examine the challenges facing the buy-side, sell-side and independents under the far-reaching changes being adopted under MiFID II.

The report has been authored by Jane Fuller, Co-director of the CSFI and former Financial Editor of The Financial Times. We are very grateful to Jane for giving her time to speak to our members in an exclusive preview of the report next Wednesday. Whilst news about the report will be embargoed until official publication on 23 October, Jane will be presenting the key findings. Due to the embargo we will be unable to provide a recording or webex for this event, but we are considering whether it is possible to live stream the event and would be interested to learn of any non-UK based members who would join a live streaming service.

Whilst reports will not be available before publication, all members will receive three complimentary copies following publication on 23 October.

Our hope is that all our members will support us with this important initiative and very much look forward to seeing those members that can travel to the event next Wednesday. If you and / or your colleagues would like to attend this special members’ event please email Sue Westwood directly at sue.westwood@euroirp.com, no later than Monday 16 October to reserve your place(s). We will accommodate more than one guest per member firm, space permitting.
